Turkey: Oilseeds and Products Update
Link to report:
Turkey’s Marketing Year (MY) 2020/21 sunflowerseed area and production is estimated at 720,000 hectares and 1.56 million MT (MMT). Turkey’s strong demand drove continued imports of sunflowerseed and products. Accordingly, during the first eleven months (Sept-July) of MY 2019/20, oilseed sunflowerseed imports were 1.1 MMT, and sunflowerseed meal imports were about 980,000 MT. Turkey’s sunflowerseed oil imports and exports went up significantly in MY 2019/20 due to increasing activity in refining and re-exporting which will probably continue in MY 2020/21.
